Computing devices with multi-layer file systems

Technologies are generally described for a multi-layer file system. In the multi-layer file system, a file is arranged into two or more data blocks respectively associated with corresponding multi-entry file indices. Each multi-entry file index can point to a location index at the beginning of a linked list (an initial entry in the linked list). The linked list may have at least one location index as an entry to identify a location in the storage device where the associated data block is stored.
